Chapter 7: Chaotic Pre-War Mobilization

The next day, Reilly noticed that the atmosphere between Richard and Quicksand was a little different than before, so he patted Richard on the shoulder and asked, "Did anything good happen last night?"

"How is that possible?" said Richard angrily.

"Something good did happen last night. At this time, quicksand came over. She said, holding down her chest.

"Oh~~~ I see!" Reilly suddenly realized.

"You know what a!" Richard glared at him in annoyance.

"I don't know. ”

"You useless thing, you don't even understand a fart. ”

"Hey, you've grown in eloquence. ”

The next three days were busy. Gore, Splash, and Gond take turns keeping watch outside to prevent the Baron's army from suddenly appearing. Erin and Tiramisu are still working on the "Language-Savvy" magic scroll, and Minnie continues to interrogate the captives to refine the information at hand.

The trichoke and minotaur did a great deal of hard work, and they would forge and mend weapons and armor whenever they had time. In this regard, the skill they displayed was comparable to that of the dwarven craftsmen, which surprised their comrades.

Reilly was alone in his room studying the corpses, and no one wanted to see his work. Erin served as Richard's assistant, helping him complete a second-order mana amplification build. According to Quicksand's estimates, the outfit gave her a powerful healing, three healings, and seven minor injury healings.

After three days of rest, everyone was back to their best, and even the armor of the warriors was refreshed by the craftsmanship of the three seasons and Minotaur.

Lee sensed that it was time to do something about it.

That night, Marvin left the forward base alone and rushed to his father, Sir Cocut's domain, in the dark.

Sir Cokat is the father of a fallen priest and the brother-in-law of Baron Fosa, and although his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of an ordinary knight, he is also a talent to be reckoned with in keeping his title with political skills. Moreover, in Baron Fosa's system, Cokart is second only to Mintai, and its status is even higher than that of Goyo and Huber.

Faro is also a fiery plane, and although the wars between nobles are not as frequent as those of Norland, they are the norm. As for the excuse for war, it is not just an open mouth? for example, your horse has trampled on my field, and your dog has bitten my servant...... The list goes on and on.

The real cause of war is mostly the fact that the warfighter has taken a fancy to someone else's things, such as land, mines, specialties, or trade routes. Although there will be some nobles who will go to war because they have a crush on someone else's daughter or wife, this kind of guy has basically disappeared in the long river of history. As for saying that the son of a certain duke has a crush on the daughter of a certain baron, this kind of thing can be solved at the banquet, so why make trouble on the battlefield?

All in all, for Baron Fosa, Sir Mintai is a powerful man who can lead troops into battle. Sir Cokat himself knew this, so he never competed with Mintai for the first place, but tried to get on good terms with him. He is a person who is very good at analyzing the situation and can recognize reality, and of course he knows that nepotism alone cannot sit firmly in that rich fiefdom.

Marvin went to Kokart precisely because he took a fancy to this characteristic of Jazz. He was confident that he would persuade his father to side with the invaders, at least secretly to help and support him. Sir Kokat's only son has become a fallen sorcerer and is on the god of courage's kill list, which is a big reason. However, the more important reason is that quicksand can provide a channel for the circulation of faith! Obviously, the gods behind her are strong enough to break through the blockade of the gods of Fara and penetrate the power into the plane!

This time the invaders were different from the past, their strength was much weaker than those invaders in history, but they were able to allow faith to circulate freely! This means that the Faro gods not only lost their overwhelming advantage in the past, but were also very likely to fall into the disadvantage! Marven has already experienced this very clearly.

After the Fallen Priest left, Richard looked at the map for a while and finally decided on the next target.

Early the next morning, Richard gathered all his men and said, "Everyone, we are going to start a war!" The young man's voice was clear and powerful, containing unshakable determination. But as a general, he also lacked some majesty and murderous aura.

"Pretty good pre-war declaration. Quicksand made a comment with a blank face.

"It's a little bit imposing. Reilly said lightly.

Richard couldn't laugh or cry, and the atmosphere he had worked so hard to brew was completely ruined by these two men.

Richard knew very well that if he wanted to return to Norland alive, he had to learn to lead the army, so he often took time to recall the biographies of famous generals he had read these days, trying to find something to learn from.

In the famous battles recorded in history, almost every famous general would hold a mobilization meeting before the war to motivate the soldiers with words and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Although Richard only had 20 men at full capacity, it was equivalent to a small army, so it was still necessary to mobilize before the war.

Seeing the embarrassment of the leader, Gangde laughed a few times and said, "Boss, in fact, you don't have to tell us so much, everyone understands these things." In fact, if you want us to do something with you, you should ......"

He clenched his fist suddenly, slammed it on the table, and yelled, "him X for me!"

Richard asked helplessly, "How?"

"Do whatever you want!" replied Gonde, as a matter of course.

"However, before going into battle, we must first determine the combat objectives, and then figure out the terrain of the battlefield and the approximate strength of the enemy's troops, and then formulate a battle plan, right?" Richard said earnestly.

"Chief, haven't you thought about it all?"

"yes, but ......"

Richard was halfway through his words, but was interrupted by Gangde: "Since you have already thought about it, of course you can do what you want!"

Richard sighed helplessly and said, "However, my thoughts are not necessarily correct. ”

Reilly knocked on the table and said, "Don't say anything else, your confused look must be put away." If you don't even have confidence in the leader, what will the others do? As a leader, even if you are blindly confident, it is ten times better than not having self-confidence!"

Richard's face was grim, and he said solemnly: "I understand." ”

"Also, if you want to boost morale through pre-war mobilization, tell them the purpose of the war and what they can expect after victory. Reilly paused and added, "What can be implemented on them." ”

The question was easy to answer, and Richard immediately said, "To return to Norland, of course!"

Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's something we're going to think about, and it doesn't matter much to them." You have to tell them about the benefits that can be expected. For example, if we defeat a human general, we can snatch the axe from his hand. ”

Gangde and Minotaur raised their hands excitedly: "Roar!"

"Or maybe we can take down a tribe of ogres and snatch all the female ogres. ”

Trinity and tiramisu raised their hands excitedly: "Roar!"

"Even if we kill a dragon, we can sacrifice its body to the dragons of eternity and time. ”

Quicksand also raised his hands excitedly: "Roar!"

"Don't learn from them!" Richard is going crazy, this team is really X's hard to lead.

The small interlude livened up the atmosphere and freed the boy from the awkward atmosphere.

Bang!

Richard slammed the table and said loudly, "We're going to grab money and land this time!"

Gangde's eyes lit up and said, "This is good!"

"By the way, let's see if there are any ogres around!After defeating their tribe, the ten most beautiful female ogres are mine!" Tiramisu looked at the three finishes and said, "You pick from the eleventh!"

Sanshu jumped up violently and roared, "Impossible! Let you pick one at most!"

"I'm a magician!"

"Neither can a magician!"

Seeing that the two ogres began to pull each other's necklines, Reilly sighed and said, "Before the profits arrived, the partners started to quarrel and even fight first...... Who the hell is this like?"

Hearing his words, Erin and Quicksand looked at Richard together.

Richard was furious: "This has nothing to do with me!"

In the midst of the chaos, the curtain came down on this pre-war mobilization.
